Diaphragm walls are reinforced concrete structures constructed in the ground, used as vertical retaining systems for deep excavations.<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>
They play a key role in transferring horizontal forces resulting from earth pressure, ensuring excavation stability. Thanks to their structural performance and the application of CWS (Continuous Water Stop) \/ Stopsol\u00ae technology, they also provide an effective barrier limiting groundwater seepage, enabling efficient dewatering of the excavation. Diaphragm walls executed by Soletanche Poland combine the function of excavation support with that of a foundation element, transferring structural loads to deeper bearing soil layers. At the same time, they serve as the external walls of the underground storeys of the structure.<\/p>\n

Advantages of diaphragm walls<\/h2><\/h3><\/div>
\n
They limit groundwater seepage and enable effective excavation dewatering.<\/li>\n
Due to their high stiffness, they provide deformation control and ensure structural stability.<\/li>\n
They can serve as permanent or temporary structures.<\/li>\n
They perform particularly well in urban environments \u2013 they can be installed in close proximity to existing buildings, under restricted headroom conditions, or on small plots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
